Lei de Godwin

Há pouco tempo descobri esta lei e achei que valia a pena partilhá-la convosco.
A transcrição é directa da Wikipedia. Desculpem, mas não estava para ter trabalho a traduzir. Gosto em particular do corolário, é qualquer coisa do género: “numa discussão, quem primeiro invocar Hitler ou os nazis, perde a discussão”.

Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. It is particularly concerned with logical fallacies such as reductio ad Hitlerum, wherein an idea is unduly dismissed or rejected on ground of it being associated with persons generally considered "evil".

The law states:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. [1]

Godwin's Law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt. It is precisely because such a reference or comparison may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin argues in his book, Cyber Rights: Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age, that hyperbolic overuse of the Hitler/Nazi comparison should be avoided, as it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.
Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions[2], the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and Wikipedia discussion pages.

Corollaries and usage
There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's Law. Thus Godwin's Law serves also to impose an upper bound on thread length in general.

Life is a combination
Of tears and smiles
Everyone should follow
Their own route
If a man has no eyes
Another can see
If a man has no feet
Another can walk

Prabhu Deva - Kalluri Vaanil Legendado em Português

Hey you

Ontem vi "The Squid and the whale". Hoje, esta música não me sai da cabeça. AHHHHHH...

Mas não deixa de ser uma grande música.

"Hey You"
Pink Floyd

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, out there on the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Sugestão musical da semana..para quem não conheça ainda

Wax taylor

"Que sera"

"Where my heart's at (feat The Others)"

"Lost the Way"

" 2005 may be a very good year for Wax Tailor. Following the warm welcome received after two successful EP "Lost the Way" and "Que sera / Where my heart’s at" Wax Tailor now delivers his awaited first album, a 52 minutes tour in the depth of his "cinematic hip hop".

18 tracks that will for sure raise memories.
Wax Tailor uses samples in his music as film directors use actors. His record is conceived as an orchestral movie between hip-hop and downtempo where WT hijacks « the forgotten melodies» and tells a story of his own where each track is a sequence. " in here

PS: não é nada de novo mas ando a ouvir e lembrei-me de sugerir à malta.
